One thing to note: is thingspeak requires 15 second wait before readings. This is handled on the sensor side and not on the esp8266. I think readings just don't get posted if it’s less than 15 seconds, this is not critical in my application so i haven’t worried about investigated alternative solutions.

Would be awesome if part of the code gets integrated into the original, as posting to thingspeak maybe beneficial to other users.

also my wificheck is handled slightly differently. I've heard the esp locks up if no valid connection and http post occurs. Haven’t tried it, I just figured it’s good to check first before posting.

I feel a bit slack not properly testing it yet and putting it online, but it compiles fine just haven't loaded it on or tested with sensors. Might need to look into updating a sensor or 2 to run on the new libary
